"They're already here! You're next!", This classic sci-fi horror from 1956 is essentially a warning about the evils of communism perpetuated by the US during the Cold War. Whalen has used the shape of the giant pods that grow the emotionless clones to put a spotlight on the two main characters as they flee for their lives. The example on offer here is a Regular foil edition private proof print and is hand-numbered #PP4.

Provenance: This lot originates from the Dark Hall Mansion archive. Beginning in 2011, Dark Hall Mansion had established itself as one of the leading names in offering creative and in-demand alternative movie posters. Over the years, they released an array of poster designs created by leading and established artists who produced imaginative interpretations of cinema, music and more. Most importantly, their releases were officially licensed by the film, television, and music brands they worked with, making their posters part of the official collecting legacies of these classic titles.
